Ammonia in a wash tub combined with detergent can kill lice by creating an inhospitable environment for these pests. Ammonia is a strong alkali that disrupts the lice's exoskeleton and can lead to dehydration. Additionally, the detergent helps to break down oils and debris, making it easier to remove lice and their eggs (nits) from hair and surfaces. However, it's important to note that ammonia should be handled with caution due to its caustic nature and potential health risks.
